Chez Camille

Hotel Description

You know what really struck me about Chez Camille? It’s that rare find where you get the Saint-Tropez experience without feeling like you’re staying in a tourist trap. Tucked away on Traverse de la Garonne – honestly, I had to ask for directions twice because it’s this quiet residential street that most visitors never stumble upon – the hotel feels more like staying at a well-connected friend’s place than some flashy resort.

The whole vibe is refreshingly low-key, which I mean in the best possible way. The staff actually remembers your name after day one (not because they’re reading it off a computer screen), and they’ll casually mention that the morning market on Place des Lices is worth hitting early if you want the good tomatoes before the crowds arrive. The rooms have this lived-in elegance – think vintage French furniture that’s actually comfortable, not just Instagram-worthy, and bathrooms with proper water pressure that doesn’t quit halfway through your shower. I stayed during late September when the summer madness was winding down, and honestly, it felt like having a little piece of the real Saint-Tropez to myself. The neighborhood gets genuinely quiet in the evenings, which is gold if you’ve spent the day dealing with the port area crowds.

What really sets this place apart is how it sits in the town – you’re close enough to walk to the old quarter without the trek feeling like a mission, but far enough from the main drag that you’re not hearing scooters and party boats until 3 AM. There’s actually decent parking nearby (miracle in Saint-Tropez), and the morning walk to grab coffee takes you through these narrow streets where locals are still hanging laundry and watering plants. The hotel breakfast happens in this small courtyard that catches the morning light just right, and they serve local honey that – I’m not exaggerating – made me rethink what honey should taste like. Sure, it’s not the cheapest option in town, but when you factor in the location, the genuine warmth of the service, and the fact that you’ll sleep properly at night, it’s actually solid value for what Saint-Tropez usually demands. This is the kind of place you book when you want to experience the town like someone who belongs there, not just passing through with a camera.

Travelers should reserve a hotel in Saint-Tropez at least two months ahead of their visit to ensure availability and secure better rates, especially during the peak summer season when the city hosts numerous glamorous events and beach parties.
